One of the best movies ever!
Great movie and such a well performance with Will Smith and his true son. Unbelievable emotioms showed with each one. Smith said it was a hard movie to make as he realized so many people actually lived that way, as the person he was posing did. In the sleeping in the bathroom scene his son falls asleep and Smith said he actually started crying as the realness of being poor came back to him and the way he lived that life as a kid in the bronx, dirt poor. Will Smith was at his best.His son was at his very beginning of a future of acting at the age of 4. Great Movie.
another will smith great performance
